    Removing hood technique?

    I always found it easier to control the closer front of the hood rather than the rear. This was the reach through the middle of the scoop method. This was back in the day, 1969. I had an A12 hood on my 383 SuperBee, that originally had the RamCharger hood. Because of the differences in the way...

    Removing hood technique?

    Yeah, good point about engaging the core! Regardless of any of the solutions here. Better step up my crunches.

    I like that 2-step idea.

    Removing hood technique?

    Any thoughts similar to @WileE’s method regarding mechanic’s fender guards - not anticipating placement after removal.

    The bulb sockets are standard Mopar, though and can be from cars as late as 1980's

    Which thermoguard is correct for 78 magnum

    I can't guarantee my '78's thermoguard was the one it was born with, as I've only owned the car 3 years. But it probably is. It appears to be the lower one in your pictures.

    Dude? If you across one, no consideration for the OP? Whatever …:wtf::lol:

    Removing hood technique?

    Masking tape just to hold in place. You can get thin, felt-type carpet material at a home depot or lowes, cheap stuff. I've done my method for decades.

    No excuses, that's why he was a winner. That work will be first class.

    Removing hood technique?

    Hmm... interesting. When I do mine, I rest the hood on the rear pins in the vicinity, then guide it onto the rear pins, which then I lower over the front pins.

    Removing hood technique?

    I’d think there’s a specific low residue tape you use? Hmmm. What about high quality fender covers used on both sides to work over each side of the fenders for a similar concept? Can the hood be raised slightly enough one side at a time to slip the fender cover underneath before raising the...

    Opinions from bodywork pros

    Not all cars have to be restored. If you have the skills and a couple years to do the deed the car could be a nice driver. If you inspect the car and find no hidden rust (floors, frame rails etc) you can drive it as is and just enjoy it the way it is. If you want a nice shiny car and would have...

    Removing hood technique?

    I have one of these Jeep hardtop winch things. It would be relatively easy to make some brackets to adapt to an A12 hood. And if I happen to come across one, I will use it. Jeep hardtop are several hundred pounds, so I don't see an issue with weight.

    Removing hood technique?

    When replacing hood, carefully settle it on the front pins first, then lower onto rear pins.

    Removing hood technique?

    Interesting to see the A12 hood issue raised. I never considered it an issue in your case, but I guess we see things from our own unique lens, shaped by experience. I see the four speed as more of a potential problem, but that's been shaped by my own experience, and the fact that I've seen so...

    It seems Jag hasn't noticed that DEI Woke support has crashed and burned.

    Removing hood technique?

    This works for me, even at my age. Get thin carpet material and cut it into strips a few inches wide, insert into to hood-fender gap & hood-cowl gap, then tape into place ( protection in case of mistake ). From directly in front of car, lift up hood, then grab both sides of hood. With it pressed...
